After spending several weeks with the iPhone 15 Pro (model number 5TQ83ZA/A), the 256GB Black Titanium 5G variant, I’m ready to share my in-depth review.

Performance

The A17 Pro chip is a beast. Everyday tasks are lightning-fast, and even demanding games run smoothly without a hint of lag. The 120Hz ProMotion display makes scrolling incredibly fluid and responsive. Battery life, while not exceeding 23 hours in my real-world testing with heavy use, was consistently good enough to last a full day. Fast charging is a welcome addition, cutting down charging time significantly.

Camera Performance

The 48MP camera system is a significant upgrade. The image quality is exceptional in various lighting conditions. The 3x optical zoom is incredibly useful for capturing distant subjects without losing detail, and the 15x digital zoom, while not as crisp, still delivers usable results. Video recording is also top-notch, with excellent stabilization and dynamic range.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Blazing-fast performance, stunning display, excellent camera system, good battery life, fast charging.
  • Cons: Price is high, FaceTime availability varies by region (as noted, this particular model lacked it for some).

Final Verdict

The iPhone 15 Pro (5TQ83ZA/A) is a premium smartphone that delivers a premium experience. The A17 Pro chip’s performance is unparalleled, the display is gorgeous, and the camera system is top-tier. While the price is undoubtedly high, the overall performance justifies the cost for many users. If you’re looking for a top-of-the-line smartphone and the lack of FaceTime in certain regions is not a deal-breaker for you, I highly recommend the iPhone 15 Pro.
